I concur...although the polling sample is only 600 something...could this be a trend?

I think Gingrich could keep trumpet on a leach.

I'm not voting for trump but what do you think of Gingrich as VP?

    Newt is likely the best pairing for Trump. Newt is one of the few politicians to speak out and say he would undo wha Obama has done to implement UN Agenda 21, and the UN's attempt to take our private property rights away. Hillary will make it a done deal, she has already let the UN know she is in favor of Agenda 21. At least Newt has spoken pubically against it. Now, how about one of them atalking about the weather manipulations by the government to sell climate chane and set the stage for UN Agenda 21!

    I think Gingrich as a VP would be good for Trump. I feel better about Trump with Gingrich as VP but that is not saying much. I don't think it would be enough for me to vote for Trump.

    Details, details. Gingrich got a majority because of the contract for America (and because Clinton's activities were hated), and the contract did nothing because the GOP was too gutless to carry it through as promised. Yes, the newly elected con-gressmen were either corrupted, frustrated, or targeted. Gingrich made a big promise and he caved in to a very unpopular president. I knew a lot of his supporters in GA and they were in awe and then he caved and betrayed them just as the GOP has done since 1860.
    After his definition of "is", why would I believe anything Clinton claimed? ;^)

    Newt is highly intelligent but he is party-first elitist through and through. I do not newt involved in government in an official capacity in any way.

    A swede borrowed a chain saw from two norwegian fire wood cutters. He had noticed they racked out two cords a day. Next day he staggers in and says, I worked my ass off and could only do half a cord cutting with this thing. Norske bends over sets the switches and fires it up.

    The Swedes rolled boulders. The Norskes waited for the gap between the hills to be filled and the Swedes to be tired out. Then walked across the bridge and that's how blonde hair and blue eyes got to Sweden.

    I don't agree. Wanna pull uip a record of who voted for what and which party they belonged too. When the opposition saw what could be done to their socialist paradise plan in 90 days the long knives came out. The passed Contract of America was destroyed and the electins were big time targeted. The freedom to make change for all was destroyed. the Republicans got the messagte. The people may talk a good line but when it comes to losing their share of pork they weren't to be found. Those left are todays RINOs and make up the right wing of the left. yip yip yap yap But i wonder if you believe Clinton balanced the budget with a surplus. as well?

    I don't see where Gingrich will add many new supporters to the Trump ticket. Gingrich will probably cause Trump to lose some of his crossover support from the Sanders camp and from other anti-Hillary Democrats, and Gingrich's establishment credentials will diminish Trump's "outsider" status among independents looking for someone less partisan.

    However, if Trump selects Gingrich it could provvide a much-needed boost to the poll numbers for the Johnson/Weld ticket.

    Since his leadership was to consistently cave in to Clinton, I don't see how things changed. Gingrich was politically astute enough to get the GOP control of the legislature for the first time in 80(?) years and then did nothing with it. He was the first sock puppet in a long line of them.

    I'm not voting for Trump or Gingrich, but they do seem like a nice fit for each other. There are things that I like and things that I dislike about both of them.

    GOP hasn't had any leadership since Gingrich. Just Democrat sock puppets - unless you count James Carville.

    Be my guest. As the chief word Nazi i have found your efforts to always make sense and be easily understood. Not to mention leaving one in a good frame of mind. A friend of mind did that with creative and action or cre-action. Made all her employees write down what it meant to them and how to implement it as a goal. They are all artistic technicals in producing documentaries arouond the world. interlectually speaking that team is not comeapartmentalized. Or as Great Uncle Olaf used to say, 'I wouldn't be at all surrounded to rememorize that again.'

    Gingrich is a GD statist looter. Another reason not to vote for the GOP. He was the prime caver to Clinton and set a bad example for every GOP leader since.

    That was my thinking. Plus, I think Gingrich could get the congress to do the right things...most of them would never admit he is inter-lectually hands and heads above them. (inter-lectual means integrated knowledge...not compartmentalized information- intel-lectual).

    That is the first move Trump has made that sets him apart from the left wing Ny liberal lamestream comrades of socialist fascism. That one move is enough to get my attention for if he ever starts standing for something besides Trump. 90% of what is wrong occured when the comrades tore apart and nullified the Contract With America. Still getting it passed was leadership we've not seen in decades. If not VP then Secretary of State or better yet Chief of Staff in the White House.

    I don't think anyone predicted it...even though history shows us going for a "Strong Man" which leads to more tyranny. I see Gingrich as a whole lot smarter...someone trumpet might look up too.

    I think no way b/c they're too similar. I read Gingrich's book 20 years ago, and I think he has some good ideas. But his style, maybe helped by a media that doesn't like him, makes him come off as just a total jerk, "mean-spirited" commentators called him in the 90s. Trump needs someone who style is the opposite of an east coast a-hole, maybe someone like Bobby Jindal.

    I actually think Trump candidacy is doomed because a nicer VP would be a foil making his loose-cannon shtick look worse. The media will pounce on some gaff, possibly unfairly, along the lines of the Dean "scream" in 2004, and he will implode.

    I could be wrong, of course, because I never predicted he would get this far.
